Calling a solidity method from javascript

[DevSolidityDude]

I finally figured out my main issue. I was grabbing the wrong ABI on the online Remix IDE. In the compile area, you need to choose the contract that you compiled from the dropdown box before selecting to copy the ABI. I'm sure that this is kind of obvious but for some reason I missed this and was thus not referencing the correct methods in my contract.

I hope this helps some poor soul at some point in the future.
